Im pretty sure this has been asked before, but looking for it seems to turn up all kind of different results.
I have a few WD Green 2TB EARS drives. Is it ok to put these in RAID 1? Itll be 2 drives per RAID
Everywhere ive looked has different answers, but nothing really recent.
 
I have 6 of them, 3xRaid1

Synology 2-Bay
WD20EARSx2 in Raid1

Synology 4-Bay
WD20EARSx4 (2xRaid1)

The 2 bay is my movie server and the 4bay is my music and file server.. The 2 bay has been running for about a year now no problems.
 
Awesome. It's good to see someone wihout problems. Gotta get some redundancy before I lose my stuff. Thanks for the replies
 
Raid 1 has been a life saver for me a number of times. After losing stuff to HD failures a couple times, it's worth the extra $. Just the HD's rebuilding after a problem by themselves is worth it...

I also keep an off-site backup of the really important stuff.
